My best guy friend isn't much of a reader but I'm the biggest bookworm alive. He use to tease me about reading all the time but one day at Borders, he turned to me and said, "You know what? I'm gonna start reading a lot like you do. I need to get educated with literature. Since you're good with books, pick out a book for me to read and we can read it together." Well, the big secret is I've had a very big crush on him for 4 years now and I think there's something there that he feels, too. I wanted to take this opportunity to write the story how we met and end it to admit my feelings for him and then I'm going to print this story and give it to him as the first book I chose for him to read as a surprise. I've been trying so hard for weeks now but I can't think of an interesting or cute opener. I can finish off the ending easily but the beginning I have come up with is as primitive as "There was this girl who met this boy when she was 14 and then she liked him." That doesn't sound interesting at all.
Hope this helped! If you could, send me your story afterwards! I would love to read it. This, by the way, is a PERFECT idea and that's awesome how you have it planned out. good luck, i'm sure he'll LOVE it !!!! [ xlostangelx's advice column | Ask xlostangelx A Question ]

I'm a writer, too, and I guess that's why I'm so heartfelt with this question.
You could always start with something comedic, maybe? Like this:
In a world where people fall in love, one girl fell hard.
Haha, sorry. I'll be more serious with the rest of my suggestions:
When I was 14, I thought I knew myself. But there was one person who changed my views on everything, love included. He was the most perfect guy...
I find it rather hard to believe one could fall in love at such a young age, but one boy proved me wrong. He wasn't just a boy, he was special...
Maybe those can get you started ;]
Good luck!
I would LOVE to read your story when you're done =]

Start it with something like:
"Once upon a time, there was a girl. She met this boy, and instantly, she knew he was different. Through the years, she realized that he was, indeed, different from any other boy she'd known..."
"There once was a girl and a boy. They spent their entire lives without knowing each other, and then, when the girl was 14, everything changed.."
"Once upon a time, there was a girl. She'd never given much thought to falling in love. But once she turned 14, her world changed forever. She met [name], and suddenly, her views completely changed."
